Ice Crystals & Frozen Buds

When I was housebound in January of 2014 with the “big storm” – I found unique ice crystals on my windows. I found it fascinating out these formed...yet another hidden treasure! (Photos coming...)

In 2001, I flew home to be with my mom during some risky brain surgery. I found these ice covered Dogwood buds in her front yard. Since then, these photos have been a reminder of her successful surgery...of hope & optimism...of life itself.

I’ve given copies as gifts to friends & family when they’ve been facing life-threatening surgeries...retelling the story of hope in mom’s Dogwood buds.
